Full Moon in Taurus - Playing in the Liminal

 On Wednesday November 05 we have a Full Moon at 13 degrees of Taurus. Full Moons occur when the Sun and Moon are in opposite signs. In this case the Sun is in introspective Scorpio and the Moon in earthy and grounded Taurus. During Scorpio season our thoughts turn inward and towards the mysterious and spiritual. It is no accident that Halloween, a celebration of the dead and all things spooky happens at this time of year. Scorpio season is about pondering the deeper aspects of life. When the Full Moon in Taurus comes along, it is to remind us that we live in the material realm too. We are asked to enjoy the sensual aspects of life, to go outside and enjoy nature and to apply those deeper insights in a practical way.

This Full Moon is not closely aspecting any planets as most are at either the beginning or end degrees of their signs. However on this day we have Mars in Sagittarius making an opposition to Uranus in Gemini and making a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. Mars opposite Uranus brings the energy or shocks and surprises, anger and chaos. As these planets are on the Sagittarius, Gemini axis, I am expecting disruptions in travel, trade and communications or attacks involving foreign adversaries in the news. In our day to day lives there may be shocking news and suprises around the topics of the law, education, travel or disputes with neighbours. The sextile with Pluto is helping us to integrate whatever changes and surprises are occurring now. While it is disruptive, the sextile with Pluto says that there are opportunities to make something good out of all this.

The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is "Children Playing on the Seashore With Clams Nearby". This symbol speaks to how this Full Moon is about the land (Taurus) meeting the water (Scorpio). Where the physical and practical meet the emotional and subconscious realms. This is a place of potential and playfulness. It encourages us to not take things too seriously, but to explore and see the world with the eyes of innocence. It is when we marry these two worlds that we can really manifest amazing things. So roll with any surprises now and try to adapt to any changes rather than resist them. This Full Moon is all about the liminal and being able to have one foot in the realm of the spiritual and one in the material realm.
